Why CenturyLink Cloud Connect Solutions

Without a solid network strategy, successfully migrating to the cloud is virtually impossible. And security? Forget it.

No matter which cloud architecture you choose—public, private or a hybrid—our award-winning network services, interconnects and operating procedures can help make sure your critical data and apps are available and safe.

Enterprises like yours are moving to hybrid cloud/multi-cloud environments to leverage the hyper-scalable user experience of the cloud. But some are suffering from legacy static connections that choke agility. Enterprises need their network providers to offer Ethernet circuits that are as flexible and agile as the very clouds they are connecting to. Without this, your organization's cloud strategy could face unforeseen obstacles.

CenturyLink Cloud Connect Solutions and Google Cloud Interconnect provide organizations with enterprise-grade connectivity for you to move both private and public workloads from offices and data centres on your wide area network to Google Cloud Platform in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
